Self Shadows

(OP)
Hi all,

I was just wondering if it was possible to have a setting somewhere that would enable real-time self-casting shadows of a part upon itself? So nothing in the display changes, don't want to have to render room, just in normal operation, have the part casting shadows upon itself from the room lighting as you work with it.This I find quite useful and helps visualise a model.

I have found that you can work with a model and have the real-time rendering option on which will make the model appear textured or reflective and you can hide the room environment, but this does not include shadows for some reason.
 

Regards,

Jon Reynolds
